The development objective of the State Education Program Investment Project for Nigeria is to support: (a) need-based teacher deployment; (b) school-level management and accountability; and (c) measurement of student learning in Participating States. The project has two components. First component is results-based support to education sector reform program (US$125.0 million). The aim of this component is to support participating state governments’ program priorities through selected disbursement-linked indicators focusing on the achievement of tangible and measurable results over the project period as follows: (a) improving teacher effectiveness through better deployment, based on needs, including: (i) deployment to hard-to staff schools; and (ii) deployment in core subject areas (English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology); (b) improving regular measurement of student achievement; (c) strengthening school-based management committee’s participation and capacity for supporting school management and accountability; and (d) supporting stronger partnerships with the private sector to improve the relevance of technical and vocational schools, with emphasis on skills for employment. The second component is technical assistance (US$25.0 million). The objective of this component is to provide technical assistance channeled through two levels: (a) state level (US$20 million)- supporting participating states towards achievement of Disbursement-linked Indicators (DLIs), and the associated institutional capacity strengthening; and (b) federal level (US$5 million)- supporting the Federal Ministry of Education (FMOE) and Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) in overall project coordination and in providing the enabling environment in line with national policies, and in ensuring sustainability and scaling-up of successful activities in other potential states, for instance in Edo state.
